Affordability & Housing
Tax measures and rebates
Liberal's promise
"This middle-class tax cut will save two-income families up to $825 a year, by reducing the marginal tax rate on the lowest tax bracket by 1 percentage point. More than 22 million Canadians will benefit directly from this tax cut, and middle- and low-income Canadians will benefit the most." — liberal.ca, retrieved 2025-04-14
Sovereignty, Foreign Relations, & the United States
National defence
Liberal's promises
"Expand the capabilities of the Navy with new submarines and additional heavy icebreakers to defend the North." — liberal.ca, retrieved 2025-04-14
"Creating a first-in-class drone capability that will build and deploy aquatic and airborne uncrewed vehicles to defend our arctic, our undersea infrastructure, our borders, and our allies. This new capability will be matched with an industrial strategy that builds and perfects these technologies so that Canadian companies benefit from Canadian procurements." — liberal.ca, retrieved 2025-04-14
"We will expand the reach and abilities of the Canadian Coast Guard and integrate them into our NATO defence capabilities. Our Coast Guard carries out important work, but we need to update their mission to face changing realities to protect our sovereignty and counter criminal activity, like the trafficking of illicit drugs. That’s why we will give the Canadian Coast Guard a new mandate—and the right equipment—to conduct maritime surveillance operations to secure our coasts." — liberal.ca, retrieved 2025-04-14
"We will modernize our procurement legislation to ensure our Forces can buy the equipment that they need, when they need it—which is now. We can also swiftly surpass our existing defence spending targets and bolster our capabilities by investing in dual purpose infrastructure—whether housing, cybersecurity, or satellite technology—that delivers immediate benefits for both our Forces and the public." — liberal.ca, retrieved 2025-04-14
"We will end the chronic lapsing of defence spending, through the creation of a defence capital account that ensures that even when the timing of an investment changes, every dollar assigned to Canada’s defence will remain for that purpose." — liberal.ca, retrieved 2025-04-14
Biography
Brian was born and raised in Ottawa, primarily by his single mother. From an early age, he developed a deep appreciation for Canada’s rich diversity, cultures, landscapes, and people. Through his years working in aviation and film, he has been fortunate to visit every province and territory, gaining a deep understanding of this incredible country.
One of the most profound experiences of his life was spending three weeks in the High Arctic, filming with the Tlingit and Gwich’in First Nations. It was a humbling, eye-opening perspective on resilience, tradition, and the enduring strength of Indigenous cultures.
In 2013, he embarked on a solo bicycle journey across Canada to raise funds for the Heart and Stroke Foundation, honoring his father and grandfather, who both died of heart disease at 56. Starting at Third Beach in Vancouver, he rode 8,500 km to Cape Spear, Newfoundland, completing the journey in exactly 56 days—an unintended yet poetic tribute to the two men he had lost. He arrived at Cape Spear nine years to the day after losing his father, lifting his bike overhead in a moment of triumph, grief, and reflection.
After years of living in various parts of British Columbia, he and his wife settled in the Comox Valley. One of his proudest moments came in 2024 when his wife, Clare, became a dual Australian-Canadian citizen. Later that same year, in November, they welcomed their daughter, Nel, into the world—a name chosen as a tribute to the legendary Nellie McClung, whose courage and dedication to equality continue to inspire them.
Brian and Clare, like so many in this riding, rent their home and face the same economic challenges that countless families do. Brian understands firsthand the struggles that come with rising costs, and he is committed to making life more affordable for the residents of Courtenay--Alberni and to protecting the values that make Canada strong.Public service runs deep in Brian’s family. His great-great-grandfather, Donald Mackenzie Cameron, served as a Liberal MP from 1883 to 1887 and he carries that legacy forward with the same determination that carried him across Canada by bicycle. If elected to represent Courtenay-Alberni, Brian will bring that same unyielding drive and unwavering passion to Ottawa.
